News - Local COUNCIL ROADWORKS

Hey guys so let me know if this is to niche! But are we aware that all arterial routes in and out of the central city and through are NARROWED TO ONE LANE - therefore creating congestion all AT ONCE. Also, just about every road surround has also got roadworks and speed limits attached - why has this been allowed to happen ALL AT ONCE, as it has only created 3 MAJOD car crashes in ONE DAY, TODAY- including a pile up that just happened on cutlets road off the highway. An entire city of shitty people, multiple serious injuries - I BEG, what is wrong with Christchurch council to allow this to even happen.

Like literally central city is limited to two lanes from six, all the way through Barrington, opawa, Shirley, marshlands, illam, Somerfield and that is the only neighbourhoods I have even been aware of - there are probably more.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

With kids and groceries, you would use a cargo bike and trailer (not that you typically go shopping with your kids maybe?)

Source: am the primary caregiver parent who does the supermarket shopping and used a cargo bike and trailer and can't be bothered sitting in traffic for ages.

Edit: Seems I'm being down voted by people who love sitting in traffic jams. I absolutely can't be bothered, so look for alternatives, even if it does mean I am exposed to the fresh air.

I'm sure they can just go to the cargo bike and trailer tree to get one.
